On Thursday October 28 Barb and I attended the "Keepers of Magic" show at Bravo Restaurant.
Bravo is an Italian restaurant located near Oxmoor Mall, behind Oxmoor Ford.

Darshwood and Lion Fludd performed in the "party room", which is a room about 15 feet wide by 25 feet long.
It's what I would call intimate theatre. The show was "sold out", with about 30 or so in attendance.
About eight of them were children. The performers worked on the floor at one end of the room.

Darshwood started the show, which lasted about an hour.
His performance of Martin Lewis' rising card on sketchpad was a crowd pleaser.
It looked like real magic as the drawing slowly took on a life of its' own.

Lion followed with a mix of traditional magic and mentalism.
His linking of three borrowed finger rings was very visual and effective.
This is one of the best presentations of the Himber ring that I have ever seen.
He finished the show with the cassette prediction (which has been upgraded to the CD prediction - technology!),
making predictions from today's newspaper.
The prediction CD had been held under lock and key by Bravo's management.
Although this was impressive, it was upstaged by a prior time prediction which was very clean and straightforward.
A time was selected by an audience member (8:47 PM in this case).
The audience member removed a large clock from a manila envelope - and the hands were positioned at 8:47.

The crowd was receptive and everyone had a good time (not to mention the food is excellent).
